Good running, athletic short. However, still needs some work to make it a high quality option. The draw string broke after my first run. The inner liner is uncomfortable, seems smaller than other Brooks liners. Wait for the 2nd generation of this short.

I really love these shorts. My cousin turned me on to them, and they have quickly become a favorite of mine around the house and when engaging in lighter athletic activities.

The only reason for four stars as opposed to five: the inner netting (which is incredibly soft and well constructed) seems disproportionate to the size of the rest of the garment and other Brooks' products I own. Basically, gents, you may have some overflow problems.

I live in shorts. To me the perfect pair should look good enough and feel comfortable enough that I can do anything in them, such as... run an ultramarathon, ride my bike around town, lift weights, do yoga, hike the Grand Canyon, or enjoy a beer and a bite to eat at a casual bar or restaurant with my wife. Due to being semi-fitted but stretchy, Brooks Pure Project shorts fit the bill better than any other shorts I've found. The only thing missing is a hidden key pocket inside the front waistband. Also, these shorts are a bit expensive, but they really do fit and feel better than anything else I've tried.
